President Foley Named as Trailblazer in Higher Ed
City & State New York has included New York Tech President Henry C. Foley, Ph.D., in its inaugural Trailblazers in Higher Education feature. This list spotlights 100 of the biggest innovators, groundbreakers, and thought leaders in New York’s higher education space.
President Foley is named among high-profile elected officials, higher education executives from academia and administration, labor leaders, philanthropists, advocates, and other figures in post-secondary education.
“Post-secondary leaders are modeling in real time how to respond to geopolitical controversies, navigate an increasingly digitized environment, and support stakeholders,” the feature says. “The professionals on City & State New York’s 2024 Trailblazers in Higher Education list exemplify how New Yorkers are meeting the challenges, and then some.”
Last year, President Foley was named to City & State New York’s Higher Education Power 100 list, as well as PoliticsNY’s Power Players in Education and Herald Community Newspapers’ Top Chief Officers of Long Island.
